What do the students already know and what will the lesson be addressing?
This lesson will be delivered within the context of an eighth grade social studies classroom. The unit that this lesson will be addressed in will be covering Industrialization – World War I. Homophones are something in speech that can confuse English Language Learners, and a mini lesson observing what they are and their frequency can help students interpret the personal experiences of not-English-speaking immigrants that came to either Ellis Island or Angel Island.
General Objectives for the Lesson:
SWBAT: Students will be able to judge the frequency of homophones in the English language, and use this information to better understand the experience of people who immigrated to America during Industrialization (around the turn of the 20th Century).
[Cognitive]
1.) Students will understand what a homophone is in the English language.
2.) Students will judge how frequently they occur.
[Affective]
3.) Students will participate in groups to explore the frequency of homophones.
4.) Students will relate to the experience of non-English speakers that came to the United States during the industrial era at the turn of the 20th century
5.) Students will learn to value the importance of language in culture and social issues.
[Performance]
4.) Students will create a senario using homophones that would be verbally confusing for an English Language Learner.
Primary Instructional Objective and Related NC Course of Study Standard:
What is the primary objective of achievement under the common core, and what standards does it target?
This lesson effectively covers the Common Core’s Language Progressive Skill - L.4.1g. This skill teaches students how to correctly use frequently confused words (e.g., to/too/two; there/their). Correct usage of these homophones also cover standard four of the Common Core reading standard, which states, “Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative, connotative, and technical meanings” (Common Core 39).
